Note that cmake 2.6.3 is required on Linux in order to pick up a python 2.6
which is in front of another python 2.5 in your path.  Once I debugged this,
I've concluded I had to upgrade all my toolchains to cmake 2.6.3.

Without cmake 2.6.3 what happens if you build plplot against a prefix with a
pythong 2.6 in it, even if first in the path, is it ignores the one in your
prefix, sees the python 2.5 somewhere further back, and builds the PLplot
python extension for a 2.5 python, and then installs it to your prefix.  Then
when you go to run your app, nothing works.

So, that's python specific, I think you'd be okay on Linux for many other
configurations (sans python) with cmake 2.6.2.  But if python, and the PLplot
python extension is in the mix, you need 2.6.3, in my experience.
